Abstract

The focus of this paper is the potential of mixed reality (MR) technology for the creation of virtual reconstructions of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. It delves into the key components of immersive and engaging MR experiences. The paper provides insights into the development process of an MR application prototype that virtualises cultural heritage pieces. It covers concept design and implementation, offering a comprehensive understanding of the steps involved. Additionally, it discusses the advantages of tracking approaches for user localisation, specifically marker-based and area-target-based tracking, in the use case of cultural heritage reconstruction. In summary, this paper offers insights into the current state-of-the-art by analysing exemplary projects and the potential of MR technology for virtual reconstruction of cultural heritage sites. With the presentation of an MR prototype and the key development steps involved, the paper contributes to the understanding and utilisation of MR in preserving and presenting our shared cultural heritage.
